At The Ice Co we pride ourselves on our values, encouraging our team to continuously develop and progress throughout their time with us. We’re striving to build a dependable team where knowledge can be shared across all aspects of the business and employees can always feel supported. For us these are more than just testimonials, but rather success stories and here’s just a handful from our current team:
I started at The Ice Co as an agency temp in 2007. I was rewarded with a permanent position soon after and have never looked back. With the support of the management team, I have progressed through various areas of the company and am still developing nearly 15 years later. We never stand still, and due to the impulse nature of the ice business, there is never a dull moment.
I like working at The Ice Co because of the people! Everyone gets along from management to the operatives. In the 4 years 2 months I’ve been here I have done many roles. Starting from an agency worker, working on the lines, to trainer and step in Supervisor. Now I’m a part of the engineering team as a Technician which the company is helping me to get my qualifications to be a full time Engineer.
When I first joined The Ice Co, I was working part time as an Office Administrator. I was given the opportunity to increase my hours and take on more responsibility by getting involved in the onboarding and induction processes. Just a year later I was offered a brand new role to the business, Onboarding & Training Coordinator, where I am able to offer continuous support to my colleagues from their first day on the job. From day one I was made to feel very welcome at The Ice Co, I’ve built great relationships across all departments in my time so far and we all work together.
In July 2017, I joined The Ice Co as an IT Apprentice and 18 months later I was promoted to IT Systems Administrator. I enjoy working at The Ice Co as they invest in their employees and provide training, encouraging us to grow within the business. Now after 4 years in this role, I am on track to progress even further to becoming Senior IT Systems Administrator. My colleagues make every day worthwhile and there’s always new and exciting challenges to face.
Five years ago I joined The Ice Co as a Production Operative and since then, I have gained my FLT licence and received a promotion to Factory Trainer. I love sharing my knowledge of the business with my team, there is always a good atmosphere and everyone across the site is friendly. I enjoy working at The Ice Co as they recognise my skills and offer opportunities to progress.
I joined the team at The Ice Co in 2018 as a Production Operative and after two years I had progressed to Shift Supervisor, where I have been managing my own team of people since. I’ve learnt so much since joining The Ice Co, from how to manage a team to how to be a successful leader. What I enjoy the most about working here is the people & sharing knowledge with my team to support & encourage them on a day to day basis.
